Résumé:
The gastrintestinal helminthiasis stand out for causing sanitary problems and losses in the modern sheep production, proportionate for the lack of strategic control and for the indiscriminate use of conventional anthelminthic drugs, taking to drugs emergence resistance. The work objective was evaluate jurubeba (Solanum paniculatum) crumb and jurubeba in association with purgative potato helminthic action on natural infections in sheep. Thirty two Santa Inês sheeps were used, with age varying from six to eighteen months and average of weight of 22 kg divided into four groups of eight animals each being, a group for jurubeba, a second group to jurubeba and purgative potato association, one positive control with albendazole and another negative with placebo. Feces parasitological exam (Gordon & Whitlock, 1939) and larvaculture (Robert O'Sullivan, 1950) were used to evaluate the plants’ action in the days zero, seven, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 after the treatment. Have been also appraised the hematological and the total proteins values in the days zero, twenty one and forty two. It was observed that the treatment with jurubeba induced to a significative reduction in the number of eggs for gram of feces (OPG) corresponding to 94,77%, 100% and 40% on the gender Strongiloides and Trichuris and familiy Trichostrongiloidea respectively, in the fortieth second day after the treatment; however the association of jurubeba with purgative potato reduced into 100% the number of OPG on the genders Strongiloide and Trichuris and family Trichostrongiloidea in the fortieth second day after the treatment. The hematological and the total proteins value didn't show any significative alteration. The results indicate that the crumb of studied plants can be used as alternative measure for gastrintestinal helmints sheep control.
